Wholesale price inflation turned negative in June owing to declines in food articles, fuel and select manufactured inputs, notably vegetables, mineral oils and basic metals.

Flood map amendments loosen oversight, enabling development in high-risk floodplain with reduced insurance and regulation.
FEMA granted appeals removing multiple Camp Mystic buildings from the Special Flood Hazard Area on National Flood Insurance maps in 2013, 2019 and 2020, reducing insurance and regulatory requirements for those structures.
